RYE IN WHEAT.

Owing to the low price of wheat
farmers are becoming less careful to
keep it free from rye. The two grains
vary little in value by weight, and
there are many farmers who think that
they produce better crops when grown
together than either would separately.
1t looks slovenly to see wheat and rye
growing together; but if rye gets in
the farm, more or less will appear in
the wheatfield every season. Years
ago, farmers used to cut out the rye
just as its tall stalks peered above the
wheat; but little of that is done now.
This scattering rye does not detract
enough from the price to make it
worth while to remove it. But rye is
much harder than wheat, and in bad
seasons will rapidly increase in pro-
portion to the finer grain. 1t is worth
while to get pure seed wheat. This is
the only way to prevent rye from COM
ing in,

CANADA THIsTLEs IN MEADOWS.

The Canada thistle, though not cas-
lily killed, is yet comparatively easy to
keep in subsection, provided the sur
face is covered with other vegetation.
A heavy growth of clover or timothy
will leave little room for thistles, ex-
cept in vacant spaces. Enough win
push through to keep the root alive,
and as soon as the field is plowed they
will grow with greater vigor than ever,
even on fields where but few before
were to be seen. Heavily seeding with
clover or grass is therefore not one of
the best means, not of destroying this
ties but of making them as little trou-
BILE as possible. On farm filled with
thistles the larger part should be seed
ed heavily, and then the fields one af-
ter another be taken in hand and the
thistles in each thoroughly rooted out.
1t is true a great deal of hay is half
thistles, but this is mainly the farmers
fault, either in not sowing enough
grass and clover seed or in pasturing
these until they were destroyed, leav-
ing the thistles to occupy their places.

A SAN Francisco contemporary has
strange interview telegraphed from
Washington as coming from Speaker
Carlisle. He is made to say that the
reduced Democratic majority in his
own State, Kentucky, was due
TO Indifference on the part of voters.
How then does he account for the fact
that the aggregate vote of the state
was not very different from that in
the last presidential campaign? Then
he is credited with the following
" Speaking of the tariff plank of the
Democratic platform of 1884, which
Mr.. Randall now advocates as the
proper attitude of his party in Penn
sylvania, Mr.. Carlisle said that al
the convention of 1884 Mr.. Randall
and his adherents bitterly fought that
declaration of principles. He said
they then denounced it as a declara-
ton OF free trade and endeavored to
defeat it, and the fact that MIR. Ran
dali is now willing to accept it is evil
dence enough OF the progress toward
tariff revision and reform in Pennsyl-
vania." 1t has been generally under
stood that Mr.. Randall was the author
of the tariff plank ia the Democratic
platform of 1884, and in view of this
fact it is hard to see just where he has
changed his base in this respect.
These are facts which Mr.. Carlisle
must have known very we'll. How
then account for the statements he is
credited with?

white wine, and the product of over
fifty square miles goes to foreign
countries packed in cork dust as fresh
grapes. We now have about five
hundred square miles left for raisins.
From that area Spain exports yearly
100000 centals of raisins.
In France five to ten acres
of vineyard is an average
holding. The same is true OF the
Spanish raisin province. In Spain
the raisins are dried on the vines
children aid in the work, and 60
through the vines twisting the stems
so as to stop the flow of sap. To this
is due the pale purple color
of the famous London Layers,
the bloom of the grape being
all preserved. In France each
bunch is carefully picked over
so as to remove every imperfect berry
before the grapes go into the crusher.
In both countries the overseer OF a
vineyard inspects each vine carefully
about once week to see If it is In
perfect health. No flock of animals
is tended with closer care. That is
the true way to do it. That is what
we have to come to. Cut up the land
into small holdings. Let vines and
trees have good care and they will
pay. 1t is reported that Mr.. A. B.
Chapman, of San Gabriel, netted $500
per acre from five acres of oranges, last
year, in spite OF the fact that the trees
were run down and required much ex-
ira care, involving fertilizing with i'm
ported matter procured at heavy ex.
pense. There is the result of doing
things in the true way; and it is t6
this method of treating our vines ant
trees we are tending. Five or ter
acres will furnish nice home an(
produce a good living for family.

Mr.. L. E. ROWAN, Chairman of the
Board of Supervisors, has gone to Sac
ramento to advise with the State
Board of Equalization touching the re-
duction of the assessment on realty in
Los Angeles county. There is no man
in the county, irrespective of his Off
cial position, better qualified in all re-
spects than Mr.. Rowan to do this very
important and very delicate duty. He
is thoroughly conversant with the
value of property in all parts of the
county. He knows as nearly as man
can know what would be just incre-
ment of value to add for the natural
rise OF prices during the previous year.
He is also quite intimately acquainted
with the assessed values Of other
counties : probably quite as well
as the gentlemen on the State Board.
1t is most earnestly to be desired that
these efforts of our official representa-
tive may be successful in the obtaining
of some measure of relief in
the manifest hardship imposed upon
the county by Mr.. Mason's inane OBJ
stinacy. The State Board has never
been backward in adding what they
thought fair increment of values to
the figures returned by our assessors.
Even when to the average man, not
up tree, our assessment seemed in all
respects as high as that of the other
counties, this additional burden was
laid upon us. 1t has been intimated
that there was in the Board
perhaps little disposition to "stand
in" with San Francisco, Alameda,
San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
We shall see in the present instance
whether there is prejudice in that
quarter or not. This year Los Angeles
has the advantage OF having friend
at court in the person Of Mr.. Gaffey.
Let us see what yeoman service he
will do his section. Mr.. Dunn is well
known here, and he is looked upon as
a man of the strictest integrity. He
can signalize his sense OF justice in
this instance by doing something for
people manifestly under the oppres-
sive heel of fanatic. The action OF
giving us material, horizontal reduc-
ton would be much nearer the line OF
right, and much more acceptable
to the State at large than would be the
opposite attempt to raise the other
counties to the abnormal level of our
a ssessment. Some counties, perhaps,
should be raised. Ours certainly
should be lower, and that in very
heroic measure. No pretense of fair
ness in the manner of ten or even
twenty per cent reduction will reach a
disease SO deeply seated.
